O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religion and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, protect me from before me and behind me, from my right and from my left, and from above me. And I seek refuge in Your Magnificence lest I be swallowed up from beneath me.

Allahumma inni as'alukal 'afiyata fid-dunya wal-akhirah. Allahumma inni as'alukal 'afwa wal-'afiyata fi dini wa dunyaya wa ahli wa mali. Allahumma-stur 'awrati wa amin raw'ati. Allahumma-hfazni min bayni yadayya wa min khalfi wa 'an yamini wa 'an shimali wa min fawqi, wa a'udhu bi 'azamatika an ughtala min tahti.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): 'Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) never failed to recite these supplications in the morning and in the evening: 'O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religion and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, protect me from before me and behind me, from my right and from my left, and from above me. And I seek refuge in Your Magnificence lest I be swallowed up from beneath me.' He said: 'And he did not say this about being swallowed up from beneath me.' (Sunan Abi Dawud 5074, classified as Hasan by Al-Albani)
